Β-FeOOH modified polyurethane foam for efficient adsorption of arsenite and arsenate from contaminated water by Qiang Li, Yifan Yao, Yingying Tang, Jinsheng Huang, Mei He, Wei Zhang

“…The increase in the concentrations of Cl−, SO42−, HCO3−, NO3−, and PO43− will compete for adsorption sites, change surface charge density, and significantly hinder the adsorption of As(V) by β-FeOOH-PUF. β-FeOOH-PUF can be regenerated under H2O, acidic, and alkaline conditions, offering a novel approach to treat inorganic As-contaminated water sources. Therefore, due to its abundant FeO functional groups, substantial SSA, and recyclability, β-FeOOH-PUF emerges as a highly promising adsorbent for inorganic As(III) and As(V) removal.…”
